Thats a waterfall? I almost asked the same question. And to think there are people concerned with too much flow in their tanks... That vid makes me want to dive into a a new hobby, too bad visibility in SC waters around here is about a foot
I've seen pics and video of clear water come from SC. Don't know where they were taken but I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll find something.
i had a feeling that it was a waterfall but i was tempted to say it haha
yea that's crazy flow, doesn't even seem like a place where the fish we know of would be able to live in
I think there is a misunderstanding on what the fish prefer. Almost always the centrachids prefer a high/low flow interfaces to solid flow or zero flow. The tricky part in aquariums is having a safe balance because water doesn't actually go anywhere but around.
If you watch, somewhere in the middle you see some bright green fins, those were mine. I had been crawling along the bottom where there is virtually no flow but I poked my head up a little too far and started to get pulled underneath the waterfall. Didn't seem to bother the fish any. They take great advantage of this difference in water velocity.
Awesome video !! Is it always that clear?? I really like to see the interaction between the cichlids and the sunfish. Great work !!
That part is usually a tad clearer. That water is only a few hours old after coming out of our aquifer but there was some work being done that day. I have other vids that show a little bit better water clarity. I actually built my own camera mount so that I could set it down and swim away like you saw in the video. You can get genuine fish interaction if you, the big potential predator, swims to a "safe" distance.
